Reaching my students and their parents

This week I have learned a great deal about wikis and blogs and how they can be used in the classroom. What I am considering is whether I could replace the long boring newsletter (which I must email, send a hard copy, and post to my school webpage)with an interactive wiki. Using a wiki would allow parents to read the newsletter and ask questions.

Currently I am thinking about having my second grade students write articles to include in my classroom newsletter. Using a wiki would put technology in the forefront of my class. I believe I would have those students wishing to participate in publishing the newsletter type their own article.
